The Bucket List

starring: Jack Nicholson, Morgan Freeman, Sean Hayes, Beverly Todd, Rob Morrow
directed by: Rob Reiner

June 10, 2008
Carl Bard said, "Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending."

Many friends and colleagues have congratulated me on my good timing when my book, Mastering The Management Buckets: 20 Critical Competencies for Leading Your Business or Non-profit, appeared this year just after the release of the movie, The Buckets List. No credit taken, but it does come up often in radio interviews.

The hilarious movie, starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, captures the poignant final six months of two cancer patients. Tossing caution to the wind (sky diving, race-car driving, etc.), they embark on a global journey--knocking off a daring list of adventures before ... Read More:

This Is Spinal Tap (Special Edition)

starring: Fran Drescher, Christopher Guest, Bruno Kirby, Patrick Macnee, Michael McKean
directed by: Rob Reiner

September 12, 2000
I'd give Tap eleven stars if I could. I'd rate my purchase from Amazon Marketplace (from chinaski77) that high as well. Be sure to know exactly what the seller of this rarer version is ready to give you for your money. Fortunately, I got the best deal I could have imagined. My copy looks like it's missing only the original shrinkwrap. The price I paid is not much more than the original price that Criterion lists. As superior as this version is to the "Special Edition," it's not worth being snookered into paying $100+ for it. Shop with vigilence as much as with "confidence."

Now for the movie. Nothing more to say about Spinal Tap than has already been regurgitated for almost 25 years. You either revere it or don't get it.

A Few Good Men (Special Edition)

Always a great story that would interest all ages--except for some salty language. Interesting to see the internal workings of the military minds.

Stand By Me (Special Edition)

starring: Scott Beach, Marshall Bell, William Bronder, John Cusack, Dick Durock
directed by: Rob Reiner

August 29, 2000
I bought this movie recently. I had never heard of it before, but it was cheap, and it sounded like something my 11 and 10 year old sons might enjoy (my husband too, since he's always been an outdoorsman).
We all sat down to watch, and first off, I was annoyed by the boys smoking. On the back cover, it said that the kids 'sneak' smokes. Well, they acted like pros at it! Not like a kid just 'giving it a try' and gagging and coughing, but they acted like it was something they always did, like it was ok. I started smoking back at that age, and I try to stress to my kids that it's NOT ok, and it's a horrible habit to kick!
Secondly, the language! OMG! I wanted to crawl in a hole with every other word being a swear word! Heck, I swear, my husband ... Read More:

I bought this DVD of both films because I enjoyed the drama, trials and consquences in them, and I'm glad that they got together in this DVD so I can continue watching them one at a time and enjoy even more! I'm also glad capitions and subtitles are permitted in it since I'm a Deaf person!

The Sure Thing

starring: John Cusack, Daphne Zuniga, Anthony Edwards, Boyd Gaines, Tim Robbins
directed by: Rob Reiner

August 05, 2003
I was looking for another Say Anything because I loved John Cusack in that movie. This was not as good as that but I still liked the story and the chemistry between him and the girl he liked. I am glad I bought it. Thank goodness it was not a lame comedy like Better off Dead which sucked and One Crazy Summer which was one of the worst movies I have seen!
